BC Backcountry Lodge Review

[DougW]

Resurrecting this. Have not been to Campbell myself. Looking at the map the issue was (to me) lack of N facing terrain. Is my concern over blown?

Didn't find the map but there is I think north facing terrain on the opposite side of the ridge from High Col. I think high col would not be skinable directly from lodge. The route is lodge to low col then along ridge to high col. At high col do some laps down north side and then come down from high col to lodge.

Anyone on this thread interested in some open seats we have in our cat at Skeena Cat Skiing near Smithers, BC for Mar 4-7th? Skiers or snowboarders. Has been an epic trip last 2 years we have done, with endless powder and great accommodations and food. Appx $5k per person for 4 days all included. Can provide additional info individually if interested. Thanks

I just got back from an epic trip at Dezaiko Lodge. We scored with conditions and there’s plenty of alpine and tree skiing on the tenure. It’s a fairly small operation with the owner Bryce guiding most of the weeks. I’m surprised it’s not on many people’s radar.

yeah I used to live in PG, I think i been to Dezaiko at least 4 times ^^ mayeb 6 ? cuz if you live up narth its real easy to get to Dezaiko or Burnie or Dave Henry which arre all along hy 16, whereas yer GAH or anything down south and east is not

IME it didn't matter how fucked up aviy conditions are there was skiing on that ridge looker right above the lodge, last time there the guide would kick off big sluffs and we and we skied it

I know Bryce and I know his dad, it sounds like they did some work on the lodge

people should check Dezaiko out

how was the food ?

how was the food ?

Food was great. They had a chef Brenda who mined a lot of recipes from the Whitewater Cooks cookbook which Sorcerer Lodge also used for many of their meals. We were a group of 8 hungry men where hardly any leftovers remained. Other skiers in our group had visited many other ski lodges around the Selkirks and were satisfied with our chef. Overall, they found it surprising that this lodge remained unknown to many. It was cheaper than others, and still had 7 day bookings, especially when operations like Battle Abbey are changing their business model to shorter stays.

I was on the trip with abcdethan and am shocked that Dezaiko is not on more peoples short lists. Fantastic tree terrain, really well done lodge, great food, plus the owners Bryce and Tisha are a delight. We had spectacular conditions, but I am guessing cold and light snow is pretty common up there. While Prince George is off the beaten path, Dezaiko shuttles you in so it is actually an easier journey than anything out of Revy or Golden. Definitely a lodge I will be returning to.</p>

The only issue is have to be guided

Craig used to allow self guide BUT with a hut custodian that person being either him or Bonnie</p>
<p>
And in light of events we don&#39;t need to mention Christopf didnt either</p>
<p>
having been a local I recognise a very strong biathelete family connection in the hut bio &nbsp; and i have skied with some of those people</p>
